Fractional CFO + bookkeeping for contractors

Your P&L says you're winning.
Your bank says you're not.

We fix that. Job costing, WIP, 13-week cash, and a QuickBooks-to-PM-software wire-up that actually works. Real numbers, job by job. No guessing. No fluff.

30 minutes. Free. You leave with a list of leaks — even if we never work together.

The problem

You know this feeling.

  • 01

    You finish a job. You're sure you made money. The bank says different.

  • 02

    You don't know which jobs print cash and which ones bleed.

  • 03

    Your bookkeeper hands you reports. You can't read them.

  • 04

    You guess at change orders. You miss billings. You eat the loss.

  • 05

    You want to bid bigger work. But you can't see 60 days out.

It's not you. It's the books. Most books weren't built for construction.

How we think

Think of your books like code.

Your jobs run in one app. Your money lives in another. Your WIP lives in a third. We wire them together like a clean API. No duct tape. No copy-paste. Data flows. Numbers match.

How it works

Four phases. Ninety days. Real numbers.

01

Clean up the mess

Days 1 to 30. We fix your chart of accounts with NAHB categories. We reconcile your books. We find the money you missed.

02

Wire up your tools

Days 15 to 45. We connect QuickBooks to Buildertrend, Procore, Knowify, or CoConstruct. No more double entry. No more copy-paste.

03

Build the rhythm

Ongoing. Monthly close by the 15th. Weekly job cost reviews. You always know which jobs are printing cash and which are bleeding.

04

See the future

Day 60 plus. You get a 13-week cash map. Bank-ready WIP. A CFO in your corner every quarter.

Real owners. Real numbers.

We don't promise the moon. We point to what we already did.

$8,400
recovered in 60 days
Found $8,400 in missed change orders in the first 60 days. Paid for a full year of service in two months.
Zach
Custom home builder — $2.4M/yr
★★★★★
$34,000
retainage collected
We had $34,000 in retainage sitting on the books that nobody was chasing. One quarter with Salisbury and every dollar was collected.
Rachel K.
Commercial contractor — $6.8M/yr
★★★★★
+2.3%
margin improvement
I was guessing my margins at 18%. Real number was 15.7%. That 2.3-point gap was costing me $25K a year. Now I see it job by job, every Friday.
Dave
Remodeler — $1.1M/yr
★★★★★
36 hrs
draw turnaround (was 3 wks)
Bank-draw reports went from 3 weeks to 36 hours. My lender moved us to priority status. That alone was worth the fee.
Marcus T.
Spec builder — $3.2M/yr
★★★★★
21 days
faster collections
Cut our average AR from 52 days to 31. That freed up $180K in working capital. I bid two jobs I would have passed on before.

Quick message from Jenni

Stop guessing. Start seeing.

We'll find the money hiding in your books.

30 minutes. Free. We look at your books and show you exactly where cash is slipping — missed change orders, uncollected retainage, under-billings. No pitch. No pressure. You walk away with a list.

Real questions

Everything owners ask on the first call.

What do you cost?
Plans start at $1,500 a month for fractional CFO work. Setup is $2,000 to $7,000 depending on how messy the books are. Clean books only (no CFO) starts at $500/mo. See the pricing page for real numbers.
How fast do I see results?
Most contractors see the first fix in 30 days. Full job-cost clarity by day 90. We promise it in writing.
Do you only work with contractors?
Yes. 100%. Custom home builders, remodelers, GCs, spec builders, and commercial contractors doing $500K to $10M. We don't do restaurants. We don't do e-commerce. We do construction.
Do you use my tools?
Yes. We live in QuickBooks Online. We wire it to Buildertrend, Procore, Knowify, CoConstruct, and Contractor Foreman. If your crew is on it, we can plug into it.
Where are you?
Eagle Mountain, Utah. We serve builders all over the country. Remote-first, by design.
What if you don't fix it?
You do not pay. We work free until you see the numbers you were promised. In writing on the engagement letter.
